super swamper irok tires

just curious is anyone is running these iroks...ive herd a few things but i wanna get some advice from everyone here...about how long do they last? hows tha streetablity because most of the time i will be on the street but i loev tha look at the price...how does it do in sand?...how loud is it really? thanks everyone for helping out!

Re: super swamper irok tires

Street miles about 20-25k. They are very soft. (even the radials) I think mine drive great on the street for a tire that is so aggressive. I love them a lot. They are pretty dam loud though which I love even more!

Re: super swamper irok tires

I havent got mine on yet, but they took a ton of weights to balance. My 40" Iroks weigh in at 100Lbs each per tire(no rim). Time will only tell how their street manners are and I only put an average of 4700 miles on a year. 2000 of those miles are on winter meats so they should last me 5-6 years. I hope...

Re: super swamper irok tires

My bro has 36" Iroks on his jeep(converted to 6 lug) with 20" wheels. I run them sometimes and must say that compared to the TSL Radial I'm running now, there is a night and day difference. His ride smoother, are a lot quiter, and wear slower. My TSL's wear fast, very loud(although I like the Swamper HUMMMMM), and don't ride as good(but they don't ride that bad either. As for off road, my bro has only taken the Iroks in the sand at the beach and they do just as good as any swamper should do. They give him plenty of traction. I would recommend them to anyone for that price.

Re: super swamper irok tires

I have run boggers, tsl radials, tsl's, tsl sx's and SSR's. I think the the iroks run better than all of them except maybe the SSR's. But thats a close race. If you keep them rotated they should wear good. Mine balanced fine. I use some stuff called weightless. It is like the Equal powder stuff but is silcone based and will not clump up if exposed to moisture.

Re: super swamper irok tires

It is a knuckle kit. You can run that kind of offset if it is a 18" or bigger rim. Some 18's will still rub a little. They say that bcause the top of the rim will rub the new taller knuckles but with a bigger rim it clears the whole knuckle.

Re: super swamper irok tires

well that is GREAT news....
i got an awesome deal on a 5" procomp knuckle kit, but i was concerned about my wheels... i have Boss 301 in 20x8.5 with 5.2" backspacing.

BUT if what you say also applies to the procomp kit, then i won't have to change my wheels, which will be a relief... new wheels are a hassle, and spacers/adaptors i just don't trust.

Looking at tires, the iroks are a great bang for the buck... the nittos are nice too, but not available in Canada?

anyways, thanks for the info Hellfire. Hopefully my knuckles are similar to yours

Same combo my bro got, Boss 301's with 36x13.50x20 Iroks. Just make sure you get the chrome 301's. My bro went with the superfinish and it doesn't look as good as the Chrome. But either way, it's a good combo. the actual size of the Irok is about 36.8x12.80x20. They are taller than my 36" TSL Radials, but not as wide.

Ok, I got 3 with his on his jeep. I have none with 'em on my truck but next time we swap I take some pics. Remember, his wheels aren't chrome, they're superfinish(which he regrets b/c for only like 200 bucks more he could've had chrome, but at the time he was pressed for cash). The last one is on my buddy's truck. He's got the chrome version with 37x13.50x20 Nitto Mud Grapplers.
